The Griffon, on Colfax Street, is far more than just a used bookstore. It is also a haven for those who love games --- board games (in the vein of Settlers of Catan, or Risk), role-playing games, card games, .... There is a whole floor devoted to a game room, with very active game nights on Friday nights. The proprietors know all that there is to know about gaming. Have a look at this recent article from the South Bend Tribune, written to celebrate The Griffon's 40th anniversary, to get a feel for this genuine South Bend treasure.
Idle Hours, on Michigan Street, is a small space with shelves packed to the ceiling. It defies categorization; let's just say that it is the sort of bookstore where after a stretch browsing, you always find a book that's perfect for you, but you hadn't realized you had wanted.
